Uniquely interdisciplinary in orientation, experts in ecology, agriculture, medicine and development studies have joined forces to produce this large-scale study. The authors argue that a number of qualitatively different regional types exist in the world, each comprising its own homeostasis. The book presents a fresh perspective on environmental area studies and demonstrates that the globalizing process leads to the destruction of the co-existence of human beings and their environment.
This title won the 2005 gold prize for the best translated or co-published academic books awarded by the Asian Pacific Publishers Association.
